Metalcore icons Poison The Well released the definitive album The Opposite Of December... A Season of Separation in December 1999 and it went on to become a benchmark of the genre that has inspired a generation of bands.
They have announced a 25th anniversary tour celebrating the album this spring. PTW will be playing the beloved album in full every night, making it show not to be missed.
Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist will serve as support. The tour kicks off on April 4 in Los Angeles and runs through April 29 in Toronto. Get tickets at poisonthewell.com.
"For me, The Opposite Of December... represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk. I never imagined that record would still resonate 25 years later. Seeing people continue to connect with it inspires me every day, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities this band has given me," says singer Jeff Moreira. "This upcoming tour is so much more than just a series of shows. It's a celebration of that record, its impact, and the journey we've shared together. We've worked hard to make it special in every way — from the lineup, featuring Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist, to the merch, the setlist, and the production. It's all about honoring The Opposite Of December... and the listeners who've supported us through the years."
He finishes, "For this to be our first tour in 15 years feels unreal. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in April. Open the door for your friend."
